Well, what happened with awesome was unexpected. It sucks, since Awesome is awesome, and I’m not sure what it is they’re trying to do with the show. Are they coming to realize that the goofy awkward kid stumbling his way through danger every week premise is worn out and they have to branch out into something darker and more serious? I’m not sure the show really has the flexibility to majorly change the premise. Unless there’s a cliffhanger/trick here, that was certainly out of tune with the rest of the show. ---

> [@Greg\_Charles](#): > > “Arrested Development” used “pussy” repeatedly in one scene to make a meta-joke that you can say “pussy” on TV, but if you meant a weak-willed man (to say nothing of female naughty bits), it gets bleeped. Something like, “We can say ‘pussy’, but not if it means -bleep-”. > > Now Tony Hale comes back and shows his old colleagues that you can say it, but it might lose you your job. 🙂 \*Are You Being Served \*used [the word](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unmkX15AeN8) long ago. And it’s been shown _repeatedly_ on the local, slightly conservative, PBS outlet. Context is everything! ---

Oh, and a _Chuck/Star Trek_ connection besides executive producer Robert Duncan McNeill (Paris). Bonita Friedericy is married to Dr Phlox. And was in an _Enterprise_ ep. ---
